Like leaves on trees the race of man is found, 

Now green in youth, now withering on the ground; 

Another race the following spring supplies; 

They fall successive, and successive rise; 

So generations in their course decay, — 

So flourish these, when those have passed away."

" Thfc sad features of a book are in the possibilities indicated 
but not accomplished. Nevertheless the inevitable time comes 
when the impressible clay hardens into stone; when the work, if 
not to be completed, yet must be put forth." 

"The Parke Families of Massachusetts" is pub- 
lished primarily for the information of the living 
descendants of the families. Secondarily it places in 
permanent record form many facts which might 
otherwise be irrevocably lost to posterity. 

For convenience in writing ''P-a-r-k-e" has been 
selected for use here, that being the old English 
spelling of the name; and the use of this form of 
orthography in a general way is intended to include 
the various other methods of spelling, such as Park, 
Parkes, Parks, Peirks, etc. 

An effort has been made to include in these pages 
some record of every person born Parke in Massachu- 
setts, whose ancestor came to America previous to 
1800. A number in New Hampshire and Vermont 
have also been included. The complete Parke an- 
cestry has been given when obtainable; except in the 
case of descendants of Robert^ Parke, which will be 
found in " The Parke Families of Connecticut." 

The preparation of a genealogy is usually attended 
by many difficulties, as will be attested by anyone 
who has attempted such a work. The compilation 
o€ this book has been no exception to th€ general 
fttle; aad in addition to the usual obstacles, the com- 
^ilet has had to attempt to set right a number of

of the Country and the good of mankind. Editors, 
authors, physicians, judges, professors in colleges, 
promoters of great enterprises, explorers, and those 
in the humbler, but none the less honorable, walks 
of life; the descendants of these families have never 
been found wanting. There are no criminal or 
pauper records that could be included in the history 
of these families. While a few have amassed riches, 
the majority belong to the great middle class, the 
bone and sinew of the Country. 

The writer considers it a great privilege that he 
has been permitted to become, in a feeble way, the 
historian of these families; and submits this volume 
to the indulgent reader, knowing that it has many^ 
faults, but hoping that such as it is, it may serve as 
the nucleus of a greater and better work to be at- 
tempted by some more gifted pen in the time that is 
to come, when the present actors have retired from 
the scene.

Many of the Parke clan have been interested in 
their ancestry and a number have published books 
and pamphlets on the subject; but it is likely that a 
greater number have collected data for the informa- 
tion of their immediate families which will never be 
printed. 

Bond's History of Watertown, Mass., which is 
really a genealogy of the old families of that town; 
contains considerable data in regard to Richard^ 
Parke and several generations of his descendants; 
among which appears a number of errors which this 
volume has attempted to straighten out. 

Morrison's Plistory of Windham County, N. II., 
published in 1883, contains a complete genealogy of 
Alexander^ Park and his descendants, together with 
several good portraits. 

The Peter Park family, of Stonington, Conn., was 
the subject of a small book published by the Rev. C. 
C. Park, of North Amherst, Ohio, in 1876. 

" The Parke Family of Washington County, Penn- 
sylvania," was written and published by W. J. Park, 
of Covington, K.v., in 1880. 

Mr. Edwin H, Park, Denver, Colo., compiled and 
published in 1902, " The Park Record, Containing an 
Account of the Ancestry and Descendants of Thomas 
Kinnie Park and Robert Park, of Groton, Conn., and 
Grafton, Vt.," an illustrated volume of eighty-eight 
pages. This famil}" is descended from Robert' Parke, 
of New London, Conn. 



12 PARKE FAMILIES 

In 1888, Mr. Levi Wesson* Park, [No. 1465] pub- 
lished a small volume, "Family Record of Levi 
Park, [No. 755] of Bernardston, Mass." 

The History of Rye, N. Y., contains a record of 
Roger Park and some of his descendants. 

" A Sketch of Owen Biddle," privately published 
at Philadelphia, in 1892, contains a short account of 
the family and descendants of Thomas Parke, who 
embarked at Dublin, May 21, 1724, (then aged 64) 
on the ship ' Sizragh," and settled in East Cain, Pa. 

"One Branch of the Descendants of Richard Park, 
of Cambridge, Mass., Together with Brief Records 
of Descent of Several Allied Families," was pub- 
lished for private distribution, by Frank OsmerPark, 
of Syracuse, N. Y., in 1903. It contains sixty pages 
showing the ancestors and descendants of Simeon' 
Park. [No. 754]. 

Henry William Clark, of Montgomery, Ala., com- 
piled and issued "A Genealogy of the Parks Fam- 
ily," in 1905, a volume of 145 pages containing an 
account of Samuel Parks who is said to have landed 
at Charleston, S. C, prior to 1750, and settled in 
Virginia; he having emigrated first from Scotland to 
Ireland and thence to America. 

The "Genealogy of the Parke Families of Con- 
necticut," including Park and Parks, was compiled 
by Frank Sylvester Parks, and issued in 1906. It 
contains 333 pages with an eight page Appendix and 
is illustrated. All descendants of the Connecticut 
families whose ancestry had been traced up to the 
time of publication were included. 

There have also been a number of pamphlets issued 
on the subject, and several town histories contain 
references to the different families.

The coat-of-arms illustrated in the frontispiece has 
been used in the family of a descendant of Richard^ 
Parke for over a hundred years. The same arms 
with the motto " Justitiae Tenax," has been used by 
another descendant of Richard. The latter has also 
been claimed and used by descendants of Robert^ 

It is likely that some American families have the 
right to bear arms under the laws of Great Britain; 
but, as there are no laws on the subject in the United 
States, anyone can use any coat-of-arms here that he 
may desire. 

Below are given descriptions of a number of Parke 
coats-of-arms which have been granted at different 
times to families in Scotland and England. The 
colors used in these descriptions are: Gules, red; 
Azure, blue; Argent, white or silver; Or, golden. 
These colors are also abbreviated. 

1. Three stag's heads caboched gules, or, a field 
argent, with a stag hound's head for a crest. [Il-

The origin of the name Parke is probably more 
easily discovered than that of many other English 
surnames. Undoubtedly when surnames were first 
used, those whol ived in or near a park were called 
Parke or Parker, and as there were many so living 
at that period, the name was probably adopted by a 
number of different families. Webster's Dictionar}^ 

gives the ancient definition of Park as follows: 

1. A piece of ground inclosed, and stored with beasts of the 
chase, which a man may have by prescription, or the king's grant. 

2. A tract of ground kept in its natural state, about or adjacent 
to a residence, as for the preservation of game, for walking, 
or the like. 

An ancient writer on the subject of surnames, 

Ralph Brooke, York, Herald, in 1594 wrote: 

" If a man had three sonns, the one dwelling at the Townsend, 
the other at ye Woods, and the thyrde at the Parke, they all took 
tbeyr surnames of theire dwellings and left their annciente sur- 
names; which errour hath overthrowen and brought into oblyvion 
manye annciente houses in this realme of England." 

" Patronymica Britannica," an authority on Eng- 
lish surnames; published at London in 1860, has the 
following: 

PARK. From residence near a Park. Anciently, AT-PARK and 
A-PARK. See however, Peter. 

PARKE. I. May be a derivative of Peter, and intermediate be- 
tween that and Perkins; or, 2, local; either from one of the 
places called Pare in Normandy, situated respectively near 
Dieppe and Bernay, or from residence near some English 
park, like the De la Parocke of the H. R. 

PARKES. May belong to the series. Park, Parkins, Parkinson, 
&c., from Peter, the Christian name; or may be local, from 
Pares, near Pont-l'Eveque, or Pares, near Alencon, both in 
Normandy. 

PETER. The Christian name, introduced here [England] at the 
Conquest. It has become the parent of many surnames, as 
Peter, Peterson, Piers, Pierce, Pearse, Pearce, Pears, Peers, 
Pierson, Pearson, Peterken, Perkin, Perkins, Purkess and 
Purkis, Perk, Pyrke, Perks, Perkes, PARK, PARKS, 
PARKES, Parkin, Parkyn, Parkins, Parkinson, and perhaps 
Person aud Parsons.

The history of the Parke emigrants from the Old 
Countries to America and the achievements of their 
descendants, should be of the greatest interest to all 
who bear the name. By PARKE we mean Park, 
Parke, Parks and the various other spellings to 
which the original name has been corrupted through 
the lapse of time, the ignorance of town officials and 
various other causes. 

The exact number of those bearing the family 
names who have emigrated to this Country will 
probably never be known. Those who came before 
the Revolutionary War, and their descendants born 
before that time, we have a comparatively complete 
record of. Those who came since, and many descen- 
dants of the older families who have been born since 
then, have moved from one part of the Country to 
another so often, and, in many instances, have kept 
so little record of the births and deaths, that many 
will probably never be able to trace their ancestry. 

The public records, both church and state, of 
births, marriages and deaths in this Country, were 
remarkably well kept from the earliest settlements 
up to the time of the Revolution. About that time 
many of the young men, and some of the older ones 
too, apparently discovered, possibly through service 
in the war, that there was much fertile land in the 
undeveloped sections of the Country. Then began 
the emigration from the older and more crowded 



18 PARKE FAMILIES 

parts to the sections where land was cheaper, and 
each could have as mcuh as he wanted. Many of 
these emigrants took up their residences in the virgin 
forests, miles from their nearest neighbors. 

It was then a terrific struggle for existence; and it 
is no wonder that they had no time to keep records 
of their family affairs such as births, marriages and 
deaths. All the information that some of the de- 
scendants now have concerning this period is a 
tradition, often erroneous, that their ancestor " came 
from such and such a State." 

It is at this point in his researches that the 
delver for family history meets with the greatest 
difficulty in tracing pedigrees; and so it has been 
with the Parke history. To make it more dijQ&cult, 
some have not known the names of their grand- 
fathers and but few indeed have any knowledge of 
their great-grandfathers. 

The first of the name who came to America was 
Robert^ Parke. He came with Winthrop, in the ship 
"Arbella," in 1630, landing at Salem or Boston. 
He probably lived at Roxbury for a while and then 
moved to Connecticut and became quite a prominent 
man, holding a number of high ofi&ces in the Colony. 
His three sons, William^ Thomas* and Samuel* also 
came; William and Thomas probably about 1630 and 
Samuel somewhat later. William settled in Roxbury 
and was very prominent in local and Colony affairs; 
had a number of children but none of his sons grew 
to manhood, Thomas and Samuel settled in south- 
eastern Connecticut. The majority of their descen- 
dants resided there for nearly one hundred and fifty 
years, and then many of them emigrated to western 
Massachusetts, Vermont and New York; and from 



OP MASSACHUSETTS 19 

those states have spread all over the Country. Dr. 
Roswell Park, the eminent surgeon of Buffalo, is one 
of Robert^ Parke's descendants; as are many others 
prominent in affairs in New York and elsewhere. 

Richard Parke came from London in the ship 
"Defence," in 1635, and settled in Cambridge, 
afterwards called Cambridge Farms and now known 
as Newton, Mass. His descendants resided in that 
neighborhood for about a century and then some of 
them emigrated to Maine, Mew Hampshire, Vermont, 
Rhode Island, Connecticut and New York. Though 
some still reside in and near Cambridge, others can 
be found in nearly every State in the Union. Prof. 
Kdwards Amasa Park was a descendant of this 
family. 

Edward Parks appeared in Killingworth, Conn., 
about 1669. He was a tailor, and was possibly a son 
of Edward Parks, a wealthy tailor of London, whose 
will was probated in 1650. His descendants early 
emigrated to Vermont and New York, and from there 
to the western States; where many have become 
prosperous bankers and lawyers. Judge Samuel C. 
Parks, of Kansas City, lifelong friend of Abraham 
Lincoln, is among them. 

Daniel Parke was an early settler in Virginia. 
His grave is at Bruton Churchyard, at Williams Bay, 
and upon the walls of the church is a tablet with the 

following inscription: 

" Neare this marble lyes 

HONORABLE DANIEL PARKE 

Of ye County of Essex, Esquire, 

Who was one of his Majesty's Councillors 

And sometime Secretary of the Colony. 

He dyed ye 6 of March

His other felecietyes were crowned 
By his happy marridg with 

REBEKKA 

The daughter of George Evelyn 

Of the County of Surry, Esquire. 

She died 

ye 2 of January, Anno 1672, 

at Long Ditton in ye county of 

Surry and left behind her a most 

Hopeful Progeny." 

Colonel Daniel Parke was adjutant of the Duke of 
Marlborough at the Battle of Blenheim, and carried 
• the news of that victory to the Queen. It has been 
said that he was knighted for that service, and was 
also presented with her miniature, set in a beautiful 
frame of diamonds, which he always wore upon his 
breast thereafter. He had many descendants in 
Virginia; the children of Martha Parke Custis, the 
wife of George Washington, being among them. It 
is possible that the Daniel mentioned in the epitaph 
v\i -fc^'M was the father of the Daniel of Blenheim fame; as 
the great battle occurred Aug. 13, 1704, twenty-five 
years after the death of the first mentioned Daniel. 

Roger Park appeared at Rye, N. Y., as early as 
1699. There is a family tradition that he was a 
French Huguenot and fled from P^rance in conse- 
quence of the persecution of the Protestants at the 
time of the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. 
His descendants resided for many years in the vicinity 
of Rye, and probably some settled in New Jersey. 
Some have been successful merchants in New York 
city. Mr. Joseph Park, of the firm of Park & Til- 
ford, was a descendant of this family. 

William Parks published the "Virginia Gazette," 



OP MASSACHUSETTS 21 

at Williamsburg, Va., in 1704. There arc mznj 
Parks families in Virginia, Kentucky and Tenncsec, 
and it is possible that some are his descendants. 

Alexander Park came to America the winter of 
1728-9, and landed in Boston. It is said that he 
came from Antrim, Ireland. He lived in Metheun, 
Mass., for a number of years and then moved to 
Windham, N. H. His descendants, many of whom 
were brick and stone masons, have resided in New 
Hampshire and Massachusetts. Among them may 
be mentioned Prof. John Park, who was the head of 
Park's well known school for young ladies, in the 
early days of the nineteenth century; and John G. 
Park, the famous lawyer, abolitionist and member of 
the Mass. legislature for many years. 

Arthur Parke appeared in Chester county, Penn- 
sylvania in the early part of the eighteenth century. 
A descendant says that he came from Ballybegley, 
Ireland, and emigrated from Donegal county to 
America in 1724. Some of the descendants became 
prominent in military affairs. John Parke, who was 
appointed an Assistant Quartermaster on General 
Washington's personal staff, was a descendant of 
Arthur Parke. 

Peter Park was married at Stonington, Conn., in 
1748. A descendant. Rev. C. C. Park, of North Am- 
herst, Ohio, wrote that Peter was an emigrant from 
from Scotland. 

William Park arrived in Boston, in 1756, and im- 
mediately settled in Groton, Mass. His three sons 
John, Thomas and James followed later. This fam- 
ily resided in Groton, and a number of the descen- 
dants are still living in Massachusetts; some in 
Groton. 



22 PARKK FAMILIES 

There were other families in Massachusetts, Penn- 
sylvania, Maryland and Virginia previous tp 1800, 
of which we have been able to obtain only fragmen- 
tary details in nine years' research.

When a pedigree has been traced to the original 
American emigrant, one is naturally desirous of 
learning something of his antecedents in the Old 
Country. It is to be regretted that nothing positive 
can be said at this time in regard to the ancestry of 
Richard Parke, of Cambridge. 

While there were many Parke families in England 
about the year 1600, and a number of Richards among 
them; our Richard's ancestry has not been definitely 
traced. 

One correspondent states that he was a descendant 
of Thomas Parks, of Wednesbury in the county of 
Stafferd. There was a family there as the following 
from the History of Wednesbury, (London, 1854), 
will show: 

" Thomas Parkes, Gentleman, gave by will, dated 
Jan. 11, 1602, to the poor people of Wednesbury ten 
pounds, to be paid yearly by twenty shillings a year 
to the Vicar of Wednesbury and the church-wardens 
to the use of the poor, to be given every Good Friday, 
for ten years." Also the said Thomas Parkes gave a 
school house, a certain tenement in Wednesbury, and 
a close called "Clay Pit Leasowe," to maintain a 
schoolmaster to teach ten poor children of the parish, 
for the term of four score years after his decease. He 
also gave a cottage, situate in Wednesbury, to be set 
apart as an almshouse for two persons, for ever. 



24 PARKE FAMILIES 



(( 



Richard Parkes, Esquire, son of the above Thom- 
as, did by will confirm the above and gave forty 
shillings more to the school, A. D. 1617." This 
Richard had Arms granted him in 1615, and died 
May 7, 1618, aged 55 years; but left no son named 
Richard. 

Another correspondent writes as follows: 
" My information is that Richard Parke was son 
of William Parke and Mary, daughter of Robert 
Manning and Elizabeth (daughter of William Her- 
bert.) That he was the second of five sons and was 
born in St. Botolph Parish, London, 5 Jan. 1583. 
That he married Nov. 9, 1607, Mary Bryan, daughter 
of Christopher Ward and had four children, all of 
whom died in infancy. That after the death of his 
first wife, he married second, Dec. 6, 1618, Joan 
Pynner, daughter of Henry Pynner; and had Thomas 
baptized Feb. 6, 1620; Anne bapt. Sept. 16, 1621, d 
May 8, 1623; Judith bp. Feb. 1, 1623, buried Aug. 18, 
1627; Mary bp. March 19, 1625, buried May 4, 1626; 
Richard bp. July 27, 1628, buried Jan. 3, 1629; Kath- 
arine bp. May 30, 1630, buried June 12, 1630; Henry 
bp. March 31, 1633, who married Bridget Whitte- 
more and had four children but did not come to this

1. RICHARD' PARKE appeared at Cambridge, 
Massachusetts, in 1635. He was a miller b_v occupa- 
tion and a large landowner. Born in England, he 
sailed from London in the ship "Defence," which 
left England August 10, 1635 and arrived at Boston 
October 3, 1635.

It is very probable that this is our Richard Parke 
and that the other names were those of his v/ife and 
daughters. It would be interesting to know some- 
thing about his family in England, and his reasons 
for coming to America. It is an assured fact that he 
sailed from London, and it is possible that he had 
resided in that city previous to his voyage to Amer- 
ica; but he may have been a native of some other 
part of England. It is probable that the reasons 



26 PARKE FAMILIES 

which impelled him to leave his old home and take a 
^three-thousand mile journey to an almost unknown 
wilderness, were the same as those which actuated 
the majority of the immigrants of that period, name- 
ly, a desire for more religious liberty. 

It was about this time that King Charles I was 
curtailing the liberties of the Knglish people. 
Speaking of this period, Macaulay's History of 
England says: 

This was the conjuncture at which the liberties of the nation 
were in the greatest peril. The oj.ponents of the government 
began to despair of the destiny of their country; and many looked 
to the American wilderness as the only asylum in which they 
could enjoy civil and spiritual freedom. ■ 'there a few resolute 
Puritans, who, in the cause of their religion, feared neither the 
rage of tlie ocean nor the hardships of uncivili.secl lite, neither the 
fangs of savage beasts nor the tomahawks ot uioie savage men, had 
built, amidst the primeval forests, villages which are now great 
and opulent cities, but which have, through every change, retained 
some trace of the character derived from their founders. The 
government regarded these infant colonies with aversion, and at- 
tempted violently to stop the stream of emigration, but could not 
prevent the population of New England from being largely 
recruited by stouthearted and Godfearing men from every part of 
the old England. ..... 

Richard Parke was undoubtedly influenced by the 
unsettled condition of affairs in England, to emigrate 
to America. 

In a letter by William Coddington, Governor of Rhode Island, 
to Governor Leverett, of Massachusetts, in the year 1674, we find 
narrated some particulars of his life. Speaking of his early days 
in 1627 in Lincolnshire, England, he says: "We persecuted not 
but stood together for the public good." " I was one of those 
many Lincolnshire Gentlemen that denied the Royal Loan and 
suffered for it in King Charles the First Days." This circum- 
stance occurred ten years before the celebrated trial of Hampton. 
— N. E. Hist. & Genealogical Register, Vol. 36, Pp. 138-143. 

Among others, "Richard Parke, of fflete, refused 
to lend or enter bond and is Commanded to appeare 
at the Counsell boarde the xxijth of this instant 
March." [1626] Possibly our Richard,

In the "Proprietors' Records of Cambridge," a 
number of references to Richard Parke are found, as 
follows: 

[1639.] "RICHARD PARKE. One house upon

itants of the Town of Cambridge given in at a

The Town Records of Cambridge, formerly " New-

Feb. 8. 1635, among "The names of those men whoe 
have houses in the Towne at this present as only are 
to be acounted as houses of the Towne," the name of 
Richard Parke is recorded as being "by the ffresh 
Pond." On page 39, in a list made out " yth 4 mo 
1652;" Richard Parke had lot No. 78, which con- 
tained 100 acres. Page 47, "at a meeting of the 
Inhabitants of this Towne 10th 9th mo 1656 ffor the 
Eleccon of Towne oflicrs. Richard Parkes, Edward 
Shepard, and Robert Parker are chosen Constables

that he is injured by not hauing his full due granted 
him on the South Side the river neere Boston line, by 
reason y^ at part of the Townes grant was layd into

In view of the fact that Richard Parke was a large 
land-owner in Cambridge at the time, the following 
curious items from the Watertown records are not 
understood: 

Oct. 19, 1652. "Richard parks Debter to the ministry forty 
shilhngs to be paid al the next Spring and he is Discarged vutil

peare sufficient reason to thase two appoyuted for the same."

It is possible however that the above referred to 
his son, Richard'. 

Jackson's "History of Newton," sa^^s in part : 
"Richard Park was a proprietor in Cambridge 1636, 
and of Cambridg-e Farms, Lexington 1642. His 
house was near the Cow Common in Cambridge. 
The very ancient dwelling house which was pulled 
down about 1800, was supposed to have been built by 
him. It stood within a few feet of the spot now oc- 
cupied by the Eliot church. Previous to 1652 he 
owned a large tract of land in the n. w. part of the 
Village, bounded w. by the Fuller farm, n. by Charles 
river; e by Dummer farm, and s. and e. by the May- 
hew farm (Mr. Edward Jackson's,) containing six 
hundred acres, which he probably bought of Pastor 
Shepard or his heirs. By his will 12-5-1665, wit- 
nessed by Elder Wiswall and Hugh Mason, he be- 
queathed to his son Thomas all his houses and lands, 
after the decease of his wife Sarah. By his inventory 
dated 19-8-l<>65, taken by John Sherman and John 
Spring, the dwelling house, barn, out-houses, and 
six hundred acres of land adjoining, whereof twenty 
acres is broken up, is appraised at ^660 and twenty- 
nine acres elsewhere at ^100. The whole amount of 
inventory was £,^12. During the contest between 
the Village and Cambridge to be set off, he sent a 
petition to the Court, in 1661, praying to retain his 
connection with the Cambridge Ch. In 1663 he was 
released from training, on account of his age. He d. 
1665, leaving wid, Sarah, son Thomas and two 
daughters. One of the daughters m. Francis Whit- 
temore of Camb. All his property (except the 600 
acres and buildings) was equally divided between the 
two daughters. Thirteen years after his decease, 



30 PARKE FAMILIES 

Thomas bought the life estate of the wid. for 
;!{^45;15s. Her release is dated Sept. 26, 1678, in 
which she calls herself of Duxbury, in the Colony of 
New Plymouth, relict of Richard Parke, late of Camb. 
Villag-e. This transaction would seem to indicate 
that she was his mother-in-law." 

While all previously published accounts give but 
three children to Richard' Parke, and have entirely 
ig'nored the existence of a second Richard; there seem 
to be very good reasons for believing that this second 
Richard was the oldest son of Richard'. [See article 
by Mr. Tolman on page 31.] 

Richard' Parke married 1st, Margery . (One 

correspondent stated that her name was CRANE.) 
No record of her death has been found. About 1656 
he married 2nd, Sarah, daughter of William and 
Jane Colier, and widow of Love Brewster. He had 
no children by the second wife.

2. RICHARD' PARKS, (RichardM, was born In 
England, probably before 1628. No record of his 
voyage to America has been discovered, but he prob- 
ably came with the rest of the family in 1635, 
although his name and that of his brother, Thomas", 
do not appear on the passenger list. He lived in 
Cambridge, Sherborn, Concord and Weston. His 
wife's name was Mary. On Oct. 14, 1678, Richard 
Parks, of Cambridge, planter, and his wife Mary, 
conveyed to Joseph Wilson, " all that tract of land 
on which I have erected rny now dwelling house," 
etc., As shown in the Cambridge Proprietors' 
Records of 1642, this is the property which Richard 
Parke owned at that time. 

The following explains the reasons for believing 
that Richard' was the son of Richard'. 

PARENTAGE OF LT. RICHARD PARKS, OF CONXORD. 
By Mr. George Tolmau. 

(Published by permissiou of Mrs. C. H. Wheeler, of Concord.) 

Dr. Bond says in substance, (page 384 et. seq.) that RICHARD 
PARKS WAS A PROPRIETOR IN Cambridge in 1636; of Camb. 
Farms (Lexington) in 1642, and settled in Cambridge Village 
(Newton) about 1647. His will, dated July 12 1665, mentions 
wife, not named, a son Thomas, two daughters not named, one of 
whom married Thomas Whittemore, of Cambridge. His inventory 
was dated Aug. 19, 1665. His wiaow Sarah was living at Duxbufy 
in 1668. Thus far Mr. Bond was perfectly in accordance with 
recorded facts. But here he begins to blunder. He says THOM- 
AS PARKS the only son of Richard died in 1690. He married in 
Dec. 1653 Abigail Dix and had children: Thomas born 1654; John 
born 1656, died March 21, 1717-18, had two children by first wife 



32 PARKE FAMILIES 

and six by second wife Elizabeth Miller; Abigail born 1659; Ed- 
ward born 1661; Richard born 21 Dee. 1663; Sarah b 1666; Rebecca 
born 1668; Jonathan born 1670; Elizabeth born 1679. RICHARD 
PARKS son of Thomas married ist Sarah Cutler by whom he had 
one son, born at Newton; married 2nd Elizabeth Billings of Con- 
cord in 1690; settled at Concord; was Lieutenant and Representa- 
tive, and died at Concord June 19 1725 aged 58 years. His will 
mentions wife Elizabeth, sons Joseph, Josiah, Jonathan, Isaac, 
Ephraim, Daniel and Zacheus, and daughters Elizabeth Fassett, 
Sarah Post, Abigail Fiske and Rebecca. Richard bis oldest son 
and the only son by his first wife is not mentioned in the will, but 
he married and had eight children all born at Newton. On page 
8b6 of the same work, Mr. Bond makes some corrections and ad- 
ditions to the above statement on the authority of Jackson's 
History of Newton. From this revised statement it is shown that 
Sarah the wife of the first Richard Parks was a second wife and 
not the mother of his children. The statement that John Parks 
whose children were baptized in Weston in 1718 was the son of 
Thomas of Newton remains uncontradicted and Richard Parks sou 
of same Thomas is still held to he identical with the Richard who 
came to Concord and married Elizabeth Billings, but in 
order to get over the recorded facts that Richard son of Thomas 
had children born in Newton in the years 1690, 1693, 1696 and 
1699, the settlement of Richard of Concord, and his marriage 
with Elizabeth Billings are said to have taken place about the 
year 1700. These statements of Dr. Bond as corrected by Mr. 
Jackson, are accepted by Dr. Savage in his Genealogical Diction- 
ary of the First Settlers of New England, and by the Rev. L. R. 
Paige in the History of Cambridge; and therefore, having got into 
print in these several works, all of which are regarded as authori- 
ties, are now regarded as truth. It is however quite demonstrable 
that these writers have confounded two entirely distinct Richards 
and two entirely distinct Johns. 

That Lt. Richard Parks, of Concord, was not identical with 
Richard, son of Thomas, is easily proved by the following consid- 
erations: 

ist. Richard Parks and Elizabeth Billings were married 
according to the Concord records, May 14, 1690. They bad 
children Joseph born 1691, Elizabeth born 1692, Sarah born 1696 
Josiah born 169S and Abigail born 1700; just in the very decade 
of years that Richard the son of Thomas, was on Mr. Jackson's 
authority having quite a different lot of children born at Newton. 

2nd. 'Lt. Richard Parks, of Concord, died June 19, 1725, in the 
58th year of his age; his tombstone being the authority. This 
would bring his birth in the year 1667 or 1668. While according 
to Dr. Bond, Richard the son of Thomas was born Dec. 21, 1663, 
and was thus four or five years older than the Lt. Richard of 
Concord. 

3rd. In the record of the births of his children at Concord, Lt. 
Richard is frequently called Richard Parks JR. This of itself 
would imply that there was a Richard Parks SENIOR, then living 



OF MASSACHUSETTS 33 

at Concord. But the only Richard, who according to Dr. Bond 
and the others, was a senior to the Lieutenant, had died a quarter 
of a century before. Now, as a matter of fact, both Richard Parks 
Senior and Richard Parks Jr., were living in the south west 
quarter of Concord in the year 1689, and were assessed a highway 
tax, as shown by Concord Records. In 1687 only one Richard 
Parks was so assessed; plainh' because the younger was not of full 
age. In 1693 both of them are reported as being still in default 
of their respective proportions of the tax assessed two years before 
for building the great bridge. Both names, still diflerenLiated l>y 
the terms senior and junior, appear from time to time on the 
records of the town from 1693 to 1711, where the distinguishing 
term disappears and thereafter there is laut one Richard, uniformly 
designated as L/ieutenant. 

It is plain then, that Lieutenant Richard Parks of Concord, and 
the Richard born in 1663, son of Thomas of Newton, can not have 
been one and the same. 

.The difficulty goes further back, to a Richard Parks whom these 
authorities have never detected; the Richard Parks Senior of Con- 
cord. On Oct. 14, 1678, Richard Parks of Cambridge, planter, and 
his wife MARY convey to Joseph Wilson, "all that tract of land 
on which I have erected my now dwelling house in Cambridge 
Village on the south side of Charles River, being six acres and 
bounding on Noah Wiswall, Daniel Pre.ston, Thomas Wise, Thomas 
Hammond, James Trowbridge, and Deliverance Jackson." — (Rec. 
Mid'x. Deeds VIII, 64). Now the first Richard Parks had been 
dead 13 years; Richard of Newton, (son of Thomas) the second 
Richard in Dr. Bond's tracing, was not yet old enough to have 
married a wife, or to have built a dwelling house, or to convey 
real estate; so it is quite plain here is a Richard whom all the 
authorities have entirely ignored. Notwithstanding the fact that 
the first Richard dying in 1665, named in his will no son but 
Thomas, I am still convinced that this Richard of Cambridge Vil- 
lage was his son, who being older than his brother Thomas, had 
already received his portion of his father's estate during the life- 
time of his father. The will of the first Richard Parks is a curious 
document; written partly in the first person and partly in the 
third person; obviously dictated; not mentioning by name his wife 
or either of his daughters, and with a meaningless and shapeless 
blot in place of a signature, as if the hand that held the pen were 
already too weak to write. Apparently the instrument was drawn 
up very hurriedly, perhaps while the testator was in articulo 
Mortis, and was intended to record his wishes already known and 
acquiesced in by his heirs, as to the disposition of his property; 
which wishes, if he were to die intestate, might be defeated by the 
administration of his estate, under the requirements of the common 
law. That in such an instrument as that he should have omitted 
all rhention of a son who had been already provided for, and who 
was satisfied with such provision, is not strange. 

In the year 1682, and perhaps earlier, Richard Parks and his 
wife Mary appear at Sherborn, and on March 18, 1686-7 they con- 
5 



34 PARKE FAMILIES 



vey to Daniel Bigelow ten acres of land in that place (Rec. Mid'x 
Deeds XIII 516). The deed by which Richard Parks came into 
possession of this Sherborn property appears not to have been 
recorded. Immediately after selling out at Sherborn he bought 
from Nathaniel Billings eaytheene (18) acres of upland &c.. copy 
of deed acknowledged before Peter Bulkeley on May 26, 1687. It 
was never recorded. He must have purchased more land in same 
locality; for on April 9, 171 1, Richard Parks, senior and his wife 
Mary and John Parks and wife Deliverence, all of Concord, sell 
and convey unto Richard Parks Jr., of said Concord, a certain 
messuage or tenement containing two • dwelling houses, and two 
barns and thirty acres of upland, in south part of Concord and 
bounding on land of Joseph Da — ey, John Smith, Daniel Dean, 
and John Heywood. This deed, as well as several others from 
various grantors to Lieut. Richard Parks, appears to have escaped 
record until after Lt. Richard's death when they were all recorded 
at once, probably to facilitate the settlement of the estate. The 
land was in the extreme southerly corner of Concord, old bounds, 
now Lincoln and touching on the boundary of Weston, not far 
from the present Silver Hill station of the Fitchburg R. R., and 
some portion of it yet remains in the possession of Lt. Richard 
Parks's descendants. 

John Parks, husband of Deliverance, was a son of Richard and 
Mary. Find no record of his birth or that of Lieutenant Richard. 
They must have been born before their parents left Cambridge for 
Sherborn. 

John Parks sold his birthright to Lieut. Richard, removed to 
Weston with his wife and two daughters; and father and mother 
went there also, for it is recorded in Vol. II of the Middlesex 
Court records, page 316, under date of Aug. 30, 1 715 that: "At 
his Majesty's Court of General Sessions of ye Peace holden at 
Concord the Selectmen of Weston are allowed to enter their 
caution against one Richard Parks, and his wife Mary, both being 
aged and impotent persons, being inhabitants of their town, having 
been warned by a constable pursuant to law, to remove out of 
their town." Here we must leave our newly discovered Richard 
and Mary, parents of Lieut. Richard Parks. From and after the 
marriage of Lieut. Richard Parks and Elizabeth Billings, at Con- 
cord in 1690, the line of their children is easily traced.- . =.> 'i' • •

formerly owned by his father. His estate was divid-

was born at Newton, Mass., March 12, 1705, and died 
at Westerly, R. I., March 1, 1777. He married Abi- 
gail Greene, June 15, 1732. She died Oct. 19, 1772, 
ae. 68. He was a graduate of Harvard in 1724; re- 
ceived the degree of B. A., and subsequently that of 
A. M. He was a missionary to the indians in Rhode 
Island. " Westerly and Its Witnesses," says: 

This good, laborious, tried and faithful man died at his home in 
Westerly in the 72nd year of his age and the forty-fifth of his 
successful ministry. 

Prom " Westerly Settlers, No. 9:" 

In 1733, five years before the division of the town of Westerly 
and a hundred years after the settlement of the Plymouth Colony, 
the Commissioners of the Government at Boston appointed to send 
out missionaries to the Indians, sent out Rev. Mr. Park, a Congre- 
gational minister to organize a church of that persuasion or to 
preach God's word in its simplicity to the Narragansett tribe of 
Indians. After laboring nine years unsuccessfully with the in- 
dians, who were forbidden by their chief to have dealings with or 
listen to preaching from the whites, Rev. Mr. Parke was not with- 
out encouragement in his work among the English and natives. A 
great revival sprang up and many were added to the church. This 
caused an enquiry among the indians and more than a hundred 
joined the congregation. 

On a tombstone near where the meeting house 
stood is the inscription, still legible: "In memory of 
Rev. Joseph Park, who died March 1, 1777, He was 
a faithful minister of the Gospel, a great patriot, a 
kind husband, tender parent, a great friend to the 
widow and fatherless and an excellent neighbor." 
Thinking the law of God superior to that of man, he 
succored a woman not belonging to the Parish who 
was ill of the small-pox, taking her to his own house 
" when she seemed like to starve." Defending him- 
self in this action to the authorities he preached a 
sermon the text of which was: "Shall I not visit for 
these things? saith the I^ord; and shall not my soul

tor at Braintree, Mass., 1831-3; Professor of Mental 
and Moral Philosophy at Amherst College 1835-6; 
Professor of Sacred Rhetoric at Amherst Theological 
Seminary 1836-47; Professor of Christian Theology 
at Andover 1847-81. He spent several years in 
Europe at different times; at Hanover and at the 
Universities of Marburg, Berlin and Halle, and also 
in Great Britain, Italy Palestine, Egypt and Greece. 
He began to write for the secular press in 1826 and 
for religious publications in 1828. He published a 
number of pamphlets, many of which were repeatedly 
republished. Some started controversies; one of 
which was his " Dudleian Lecture," at Harvard Col- 
lege in 1845, on the " Intellectual and Moral Influence 
of Romanism." This was controverted in an elabo- 
rate review by Dr. Orestes A. Brownson, who had 
then recently joined the Catholic Communion. His 
sermon delivered in 1850 before the Congregational 
ministers of Massachusetts, "Theology of the Intel- 
lect and that of the Feelings," called forth a number 
of replies, to which Prof. Park responded in three 
separate pamphlets. He did a great deal of editorial 
work. In 1839, in connection with Prof. B. B. Ed- 
wards, he translated and edited an octavo volume of 
472 pages, entitled " Selections from German Litera- 
ture." In connection with Prof. Austin Phelps, D. 
D., and Dr. Lowell Mason, he compiled and edited 
the "Sabbath Hymn Book," which within the period 
from 1859 to 1866 reached a circulation of about 120,- 
000. In 1844 Prof. Edwards and Prof. Park estab- 
lished the " Bibliotheca Sacra " on its new plan, and 
Prof. Park was editor-in-chief from 1851 to 1884. A 
complete list of his writings would make quite a cat- 
alogue. For more than thirty years he was president

of the Board of trustees of Abbott Academy at An-

successively held the offices of representative in Con- 
gress for twelve consecutive years, Governor of Ver-

Francisco Vigilant Committee of 1856, and was in- 
strumental in hanging four of the murderers. He 
was one of the builders of the Panama R. R., and 
was president of the road and principal owner when 
he died. He was the first who attempted to tunnel 
the Hudson river, and lost half a million dollars in 
the failure of that undertaking; but the many tunnels 
now running into New York are evidence of his good 
judgement. He accumulated several millions by his 
large legal practice and his various successful busi- 
ness enterprises. A most generous giver and friend 
of the poor, yet he left several millions at his death.

ard'), was born at Old Point, Va., Nov. 8; 1820, and 
died at Norfolk, Va., June 12, 1900. He married 
Sophie Chauner Jackson, June 6, 1855, at Norfolk. 
A descendant says that she was a great-neice of Sir 
William Congrieve, of England, the poet and drama- 
tist; who is buried in Westminster Abbey. Mr. 
Parks succeeded his father as superintendent of the 
Dismal Swamp Canal Company, and while holding 
that position he conceived the plan of building 
another canal, which would be a shorter cut for ves- 
sels to and from the waters of North Carolina. This 
canal was built and he was President of the company 
for many years. Shortly after becoming interested 
in the canal. Commodore Parks purchased a large 
tract of land on the Virginia coast and erected 
thereon a hotel, which he called "The Hollies," and 
while at the time it was thought by many that it 
would never become what the promoter desired and 
believed — a famous seaside resort — even this was but 
the beginning, and the end is not yet. The con- 
struction of a narrow-gauge railroad between Norfolk 



OP MASSACHUSETTS 121 

and Virginia Beach was also one of the enterprises 
carried out by this man of many resources, so that he 
was the father of the Princess Anne Hotel and the 
present standard gauge road connecting the two 
places. Commodore Parks always took an active 
interest in all affairs concerning the city of his 
adoption. For a number of years he was a member 
of the City Councils, and in 1872 served a terra in the 
State Legislature. The only public office he ever 
held was Supervising Inspector of Steamboats, which 
position he filled during the first term of President 
Cleveland. He was a canidate for Congress from 
Norfolk at one time, but was defeated. Commodore 
Parks was a man as, widely known perhaps as any 
man in Virginia, and his fund of information on 
almost any subject was unusually large. He was 
one who alwa3's had a kind word for everybody, and 
his reminiscences" were very interesting. During the 
Civil Vv'^ar he served in the Confederate States navy, 
having been in the navy of the State of North Caro- 
lina at the breaking out of the war.

to the General Assembly of California in 1861, and to 
the State Senate in 1862, where he made a brilliant 
record. He was Attorney General from 1863 to 1867,

California, " as a light to the early bar of California, 
and for his brilliant administration of the office of 
Attorney General." He practiced law in San Fran- 
cisco until 1873, when he returned east and settled in

the suit which resulted in the reorganization of the 
road as the Erie Railroad, of which company he is 
now a director. For more than ten years he was 
President of the Chicago and Erie Railroad and for

has extensive connections throughout the East and 
with South America. After the death of his father- 
in-law he became the head of Catlin & Company, one 
of the leading wholesale dry goods firms of New 
York City. All his life he was an enthusiastic 
yachtsman and was a prominent member of the New 
York, the Larchmont, the Eastern and the American 
Yacht Clubs, of the last of which he was Commodore 
at the time of his death. His auxiliary steam yacht 
"Sultana," in which he took his wedding trip, was 
built under his personal supervision. He was one of 
the very few yachtsmen who had a master's license 
and was able to navigate his own boat. He was a 
most skillful sailor and took great interest in the 
small racing boats sailed by amateurs. In 1906 he 
built the "Vim" especially to compete for the 
Roosevelt Cup, in the races with Germany off Mar- 
blehead, and won three out of the five races. He 
was a shrewd and sagacious business man and most 
honorable in all his dealings. Personally he was 
quiet and retiring and of a peculiarly lovable disposi- 
tion. All who met him, whether in business or so- 
cially, were attracted to him, and he left a host of 
devoted friends.

1355. WILLIAM HENRY* PARK, (William E'., 
William', William', Nathan*, Edward', Thomas', 
Richard"), was born at Woodford, Vt., March 1, 
1837, and died there Aug-. 4, 1906. He married 
Josephine Emerson, Dec. 20, 1866, at Boston. She 
was the daughter of Joseph and Lydia (Howard) 
Emerson. She was born Sept. 8, 1840, and was liv- 
ing at Boston in 1908. Mr. Park resided at Boston 
where he was ever active in the public interest. With 
no aspirations for public office, he yet stood as a 
candidate of the Prohibition party, of which he was 
a prominent member, for Senator of Massachusetts, 
also for Governor, and for many years was elected 
delegate to state conventions. He was a member of 
many associations and boards of public interest. He 
stood ready to serve wherever dut}^ called. For six- 
teen years he served as Deacon of the Fifth Baptist 
Church, Charlestown, Mass., and faithfully, ideally 
fulfilled every trust. In the business world he was 
well known. Trusted, respected, beloved and suc- 
cessful, he carried the ever kindly Christian spirit 
into daily dealings, uniformly trusting his associates 
and being trusted in turn. In the hurry and bustle 
of business life he worked always in the Master's ser- 
vice, feeling that he might never pass that way 
again. Men sought him in affliction, in business 
adversity, and found him ever ready to extend a help- 
ing hand. Generous, kind, unselfish and conscien- 
tious through life, few persons leave such noble and 
unsullied memories. A memorial service was held 
for him in Boston, also one in Woodford, Vt. His 
earthly remains were laid in the Woodford cemetery, 
where four generations of this Park famil}'^ rest? the 
earliest being William Park, of Uxbridge.

State Senator for two years. He held a number of 
other offices, and in 1881 was appointed a judge in 
Newton. It was a delightful experience to have the

59. ANDREW HORATIO' PARK, (Alexander*,

He married 1st, Sophronia Walton, May 18, 1855, 
daughter of Jonathan Tarbell, and Sarah Harrison 
(Rugg) Walton. She was born July 14, 1827, and 
died July 12, 1862. He married 2nd, Mrs. 'Sarah F. 
Allen, April 18, 1864, a sister of his first wife. She 
was born Feb. 19, 1833. Mr. Park was blind from 
birth; but in spite of this very serious drawback he 
made a success of life. Until his thirteenth year he 
attended school in the "old red schoolhouse," where 
his lessons were read to him. and he readily under- 
stood and committed them to memory. At the age of 
13 he went to the Institution For The Blind, at South 
Boston, Mass., and remained a pupil there for seven 
years, and afterwards as teacher for some time; 
teaching natural philosophy, astronomy, algebra and 
geometry; being connected with the institution for 
more than thirty years. He was a born mathemati- 
cian, having a most surprising power of doing sums 
in his head. While in Boston at school he formed 
the acquaintance of the late Rev. Thomas Hill, who 
was at one time President of Harvard Collie. Mr. 
Hill was a genius with figures and well versed in 



OF MASSACHUSETTS 189 

science. He read mathematics to Mr. Park, and to- 
gether they solved knotty problems with great 
enthusiasm. They also formed a warm personal 
friendship which lasted through life. In his younger 
days Mr. Park made a thorough study of astronomy, 
which interested him greatly, and he obtained a re- 
markable knowledge of that science. He used to go 
about lecturing on the subject, illustrating his mean- 
ing by the use of diagrams on cloth prepared for the 
purpose, which he would hold up to the audience one 
after the other as he came to them. About the year 
1852 he visited a friend of his, who was also blind, 
and embarked in business as a book agent on his own 
accouut. The most remarkable part of it was that 
he made a financial success of it. He went about 
from house to house in the country on horseback, 
with a hired boy on another horse for a guide. In 
1855 he married Sophronia Walton, of Reading, and 
they kept house in Lowell, Mass., for several years. 
During that time he was engaged in teaching at the 
Institution in Boston, going down on the train in the 
morning and returning at night unattended. After 
his second marriage he bought a farm, and with 
characteristic enthusiasm entered upon his new life 
as a farmer. With one of his small boys to guide 
him he would rake hay, or go to mill with a barrel 
of corn on a hand cart. He used to milk the cows 
and cut their fodder and feed them, until the small 
boys grew up. He loved good music and played the 
flute and piano. He recognized people by thevt 
voices, and when in his prime never made a mistake. 
The secret of his going about alone so readily was 
his knowledge of echo and the quickness of his 
hearing. All solid objects reflect sound, and as he 



190 PARKE FAMILIES 

went about he was continually listening to the echo 
of his footsteps. Sound that we would not notice at 
all meant something to him. He could tell whether 
he was walking past a house or a picket by the dif- 
ference in sound thrown back to him. He would step 
into a strange room, aud if it were empty, walk to the 
middle, make a clacking noise with his mouth, and 
then tell within a foot how long, how broad and how 
high it was. If it was full of furniture the echo 
would not be so good. He encouraged reading in his 
family and had a lively interest in what was going 
on in the world about him, and took great delight in 
having the daily paper read to him as long as he 
lived. With his wonderful memory and active brain 
he was always ready to discuss almost any subject. 
In order to understand how this universe seemed to 
him we must imagine everything existing without 
color, or the various shades of light and dark that 
mean so much to us. When we consider how he was 
handicapped in the beginning of life's battle, we 
must agree that he fought courageously and well 
and his example should encourage those of faint 
heart. During the greater part of his life he was 
buoyant and happy; more so than the average man 
who can see.

BY LAWRENCE PARK. 
Member of the New England Historic-Genealogical Society. 

1. WILLIAM' PARK, was the son of William and 
Janet (Reid) Park, of Glasgow, Scotland, and was 
baptized at Balornoch, a Glasgow parish, on Oct. 7, 
1705. I learn from a memorandum written by his 
grandson, Stuart James^ Park, that he lived in Scot- 
land until 1756, "and sometime in that 3'ear he came 
to America" and landed in Boston. He moved, prob- 
ably soon after, to Westford, Mass., and about 1760 
to that part of Groton, Mass., now within the limits 
of the town of Ayer, where the remainder of his life 
was spent. By occupation he was a worker in stone; 
hammering and lettering stone and making grave- 
stones. He was "tall in statue, vigorous and 
athletic," and in mind "sound and discriminat- 
ing, well disciplined and educated." In religion he 
was a staunch Presbyterian. He married at Glas- 
gow, May 6, 1730, Anna Law, who was born in 1704, 
probably in Scotland. She came to this Country in 
1765 with her sons James and Thomas. Of her, her 
grandson says: " She was an industrious, intelligent 
and good woman and retained in a wonderful degree 
her faculties, both physical and mental, to the last of 
her life." She died at Groton, Oct. 2, 1789, and is

in Groton. He died in Groton, June 17, 1788.

SECOND GENERATION. 

2. JOHN* PARK, (William'), was born at Glas- 
gow, (probably), March 15, 1731. He married Jean 
Stewart, June 2, 1758. She was born Feb. 12, 1732. 
He was a stone mason, " a good draftsman and a very 
ingenious mechanic and an intelligent and judicious 
man." In 17bO he was engaged by the Duke of Ar- 
gyle in work on his castle at Inveraray, Scotland, 
and in laying out the grounds of the Duke's estate. 
This work occupied him for seven years, and in 1767, 
accompanied by his wife and three children, he sailed 
for America and landed in Boston, Aug. 17, 1767, and 
went immediately to Groton. He had been there only 
a few 3'ears when he received repeated letters from 
the Duke of Argyle containing liberal offers for him 
to return to Scotland and take charge of the Duke's 
establishment. At length he decided to accept and 
went to Boston to engage his passage. He found 
upon arriving there that the harbor had just been 
blockaded by the British fleet, so he returned to 
Groton. He bought four hundred acres of land in 
Groton, some of which is still in the possesion of his 
descendants; and shortly before his death built, for 



196 PARKE FAMILIES 

his occupancy, the first brick house in Groton; which 
is still standing, though now in the town of Ayer. 
In 1784-88 he was engaged in building a stone jail at 
Worcester, which was considered the second stone 
building of importance in the commonwealth. In 
1789 he built the stone jail at Concord, Mass., and in 
1793, while engaged in constructing the jail at Am- 
herst, N. H., he met with an accident w^hich caused 
his death on the following day, Aug. 15, 1793. His 
wife died at Groton, April 25, 1793, and both are 
buried in the old burying ground at Groton. He was 
a Whig, and in his religious views a Presbyterian, 
and says his son: " Somewhat rigid in the practical 
observance of them, but liberal towards those whose 
religious opinions differed from his own." The Cen- 
sus of 1790 records him at Groton with two boys over 
16, one under 16 and three females.

4. THOMAS'- PARK, (William'), was born 1745,

He married Rosannah Conn, daughter of George and 
Mary Conn, at Harvard, May 3, 1768. They had 
emigrated a few years earlier from the north of Ire- 
land, where she was born in 1745. She died at Har- 
vard, Oct. 28, 1814. Thomas Park remained in 
Groton until about 1780, when he removed to Shirley; 



OF MASSACHUSETTS 197 

He probably went to Harvard about 1765, and lived 
there the remainder of his life. He was by trade a 
stone cutter. He held several town oflices, and in 
1803 and the two following years represented Har- 
vard in the legislature. He died at Harvard June 8, 
1806, and is buried there. He was in the Rev. War, 
in Capt. Henry Farwell's co., Col. Prescott's regt., 
which marched on the alarm of April 19, 1775. The

iam*), was born at Groton, Mass., Feb. 7, 1773. His 
early education was obtained from the district schools 
of his native town: and he was then apprenticed to 
his father and was working with hira at the latter's 
death. Soon after this event he began business for 
himself at Concord, Mass. From here he went to 
Worcester and in 1798 he built the jail at Portland, 
Me. In 1796 he purchesed a farm in Pelham, Mass., 
and here met Miss Nancy Gray, to whom he was mar- 
ried on May 17, 1798. She was the daughter of Ebene- 
zer and Agnes ( Barry) Gray, and was born at Pelham, 
Oct. 6, 1778. She died at Pelham, Dec 22, 1803, and 
is buried there. On Sept. 10, 1804, he married Cath- 
erine Taylor, at Pelham, the daughter of James and 
Abiah (Moore) Taylor. She was born at Pelham, 
May 11, 1782, and died at Groton, Aug. 2, 1872, and 
is buried beside her husband in the New Cemetery in 
that town. Mr. Park built in succession the jail at 
Northampton, Mass., in 1801; the Massachusetts 
State Prison, 1803 to 1806; the state prison at Wind- 
sor, Vt., 1808 to 1810; the state prison at Concord, N. 
H., 1810 to 1812; his own house at Groton in 1812: 
the stone locks in the Middlesex Canal, Mass., 1813 
to 1814. In 1815 he submitted to the legislature of 
New Hampshire an estimate and an original plan for 
a new State House to be erected at Concord in that 
State and in 1816 was awarded the contract. He

was occupied with the construction of this building 
until July 1818. In 1820 he was employed to super- 
intend the construction of the so called Mill-dam 
which extended from Boston across the Back Bay to 
Brighton. This was completed in 1822; in 1824 he 
was appointed County Agent of Essex County, 
Mass., to construct in stone the jail and county build- 
ings at Newburyport. In 1827 he began the construc- 
tion of the dry dock at Charlestown, Mass., which 
was finished in 1831. He then returned to Groton to 
the cultivation of his extensive farm, and the remain- 
der of his life was spent .there. In 1817 he was ap- 
pointed Justice of the Peace and of the Quorum, an 
office which he held until his death. In 1837 he was 
elected a member of the Massachusetts State Senate, 
being re-elected in 1838 and served until 1840. He 
was the wealthiest man in Groton, one of the largest 
landholders in Middlesex County; and was known over 
a wide region by the title of "Squire." He was a man 
of great perseverance and tenacity of purpose, genial 
and witty; and had all the natural traits of his Scotch 
ancestors, without perhaps, their religious bigotry. 
In religion he was a Unitarian and was one of the 
founders of that society in Groton in 1826. He died 
at Groton, Aug. 14, 1859.

26. JOHN GRAY* PARK, (Stewart J'., John', 
William^, was born at Pelham, Mass., Aug. 31, 1801. 
His early years were passed with his grandfather 
Gray at Pelham, his mother having died when he 
was a little over two years old. Upon his father's 
settlement in Groton in 1812 he entered Groton Acad- 
emy, now Lawrence Academy . In 1822 he formed a 
partnership with Henry Woods, of Groton, for the 



OF MASSACHUSETTS 203 

sale of general merchandise, under the firm name of 
Park & Woods. On June 4, 1829 he married Maria 
Thayer, at Bostan, the oldest child of Joel and 
Abigail (Brastow) Thayer, a well-to-do merchant of 
Boston. She was born at Boston, Aug. 18, 1809, and 
died at Groton, Sept. 27, 1892, and is buried there. 
In 1832 Mr. Woods retired from the firm and in 
March, 1835 Luther P. Potter, of Groton, was admit- 
ted a partner with the firm name of Park & Potter. 
Mr. Park retired in 1842. In March 1834 he was 
elected Town Clerk of Groton, and served until 
March, 1837. In November, 1836, he represented 
Groton in the State Legislature, and was re-elected 
in 1838. In 1853 he was elected a Delegate to repre- 
sent the town at a convention held at Boston on May 
4, 1853, for altering the Constitution of the Common- 
wealth. His health during the latter part of his life 
was poor, and caused him much suffering. He died 
at Groton, Sept. 23, 1875, and is buried in the new 
cemetery there. In politics he was a Whig and in 
religion a Unitarian. He was a man of firm purpose 
and strict integrity, and was much respected by his 
associates. The following extract from a letter to 
Mrs. Park, written by a former partner of Mr. Park, 
gives in a few words Mr. Park's character: "In all 
my experience I have never known any man so con- 
stantly mindful of the rights of others as Mr. Park. 
He could be firm and at the same time, cautious, hon- 
est and generous. And now as my mind runs back 
over the past nothing comes up in connection with 
Mr. Park that is unpleasant — everything is pleasant 
to remember. It is now [1875] forty-four years since 
I first knew Mr. Park, and nearly forty-two since I 
first went into his store as a clerk; and when I con- 



204 PARKE FAMILIES 

sider my own imperfections, and that he was human, 
how wonderful that in all this time nothing — no lit- 
tle thing should occur that is unpleasant to remember. 
I never knew him to do anything that he need wish 
to hide or be ashamed to have all the world know. 
And yet one so pure and so just is made to suffer as 
but few do."

years at the Harvard Medical School; during one of

General Hospital, and in Feb. 1862 he was appointed 
Acting Assistant Surgeon in the U. S. Navy. He 
served in the North Atlantic and West Gulf Squad- 
rons until November, 1865, when he was honorably

He at once returned to his native State and settled 
in Worcester, where he built up a large practice. In 
1871 he became the first Superintendent of the new 
Worcester City Hospital, and largely through his 
efforts it was started upon a successful basis. On 
Oct. 22, 1872, he married at Groton, Elizabeth Bige- 
low Lawrence, daughter of Hon. Asa Farnsworth 
and Sarah Jane (Bancroft) Lawrence, of Groton, who 
was born at Pepperell, March 9, 1841, and died at

OP MASSACHUSETTS 207 

Europe, studying particularly the methods employed 
in the care and management of the insane in Great 
Britain. In 1890 he removed with his family to his 
native town of Groton, which was his home for the 
remainder of his life. In 1892 he was appointed by 
Gov. Russell, one of the trustees of the newly estab- 
lished Medfield insane asylum, and became Chairman 
of the Board and a member of its building committee. 
He gave the building of the new asylum his personal 
attention, and devoted the larger part of the remain- 
der of his life to perfecting its needs. He made sev- 
eral trips to California during the last fifteen years 
of his life for the benefit of his health. He was 
called upon as an expert on insanity in several im- 
portant murder and legal cases. He was one of the 
consulting physicians of the Memorial Hospital for 
Women and Children at Worcester; a member of sev- 
eral Massachusetts medical societies, of the American 
Medico-Psychological Association and the Military 
Order of the Loyal Legion, and he held at different 
times various positions of trust in Groton. He re- 
turned in ill health from California in June, 1905 and 
soon after went to the City Hospital at Worcester for 
an operation. The operation was successful but 
other complications were present which caused his 
death at Worcester, on Aug. 29, 1905. He was buried 
in the new cemetery at Groton beside his wife. In 
character Dr. Park was kind and affectionate, 
thoughtful of others and eminently just in his deal- 
ings. He was especially fond of flowers and their 
care.

Diligent research has failed to gather any informa- 
tion as to his ancestry. He was married Nov. 24, 
1748, at Waltham, to Hannah Hammond, who died 
in 1809. In the marriage record in Waltham his 
name is spelled "Parks," and it is possible that he 
was a descendant of Richard' Parke, of Cambridge, 
through one of the lines that we have been unable to 
trace. The census of 1790 gives "John Pirks" as a

settled there. The majorit}" of his descendants lived 
in Connecticut until just prior to the Revolutionary

GENEALOGY 

OF THE 

IParl^e Jfamiliee of Connecticut, 

INCLUDING PARK AND PARKS. 

BY FRANK SYLVESTER PARKS. 

In one volume; containing 360 pages, including 
18 illustrations, one being a full page plate in 
its true colors of a Parke coat of arms. 

This book is similar in size and style to " The 
Parke Families of Massachusetts." Besides the 
history of the Connecticut families it has a list 
embracing 23 pages and mentioning 290 men 
who fought in the Revolution. This list will 
give many an opportunity to secure the data 
needed to qualify them for membership in the 
societies of the Sons and Daughters of the Rev- 
olution. This book also gives information that 
will qualify many to join the Society of Colonial 
Wars, etc. 

Only a limited edition of this book was printed 
and but few remain to be sold. 



PRICE $7, POSTPAID.
